The Germans' offensive was launched almost a month and a half late and they assumed a quick victory before winter.I thought the Germans were waiting for colder weather to freeze the mud. Assuming they can find gas isn't the cold better for the Russians?
How about 1812, and yet a different cast of characters?wow...tell me if this doesn't sound like a headline from the 1940's but with different players...
Ukraine Cold Snap Set To Freeze Russian Convoy, Could See Soldiers Quit
Glen Grant, from the Baltic Security Foundation, told Newsweek the cold weather will demoralize Russian troops stuck outside the Ukrainian capital and add to the logistical problems they already face.www.newsweek.com
do you really believe that such things haven't been discussed between US an Poland before press release??
I thought all the reactors has been shot down years ago, which means the plant is not generating any power at all.
Nah...we're too suave and sophisticated to elect an actor and TV personality to be our president.It just absolutely blows my mind, I wish we had more leaders like Zelenskyy.
It seems to me, that what's going on, is plausible deniability.No. As I noted above, it's infuriating, the bureaucratese being practiced by our American government, to the point of allowing the Pentagon to dictate foreign policy.
I hope that's what happens. The whole situation just seems wacky. If you are secretly trying to move planes into the country, just do it. You have deniability. Now, after all these press releases, it actually makes it harder to deny, and it's assumed you are lying. At least our position could have been, "Migs? What Migs? We know nothing of Migs. We build Lockheeds. Are there any Lockheeds in Ukraine?It seems to me, that what's going on, is plausible deniability.
Putin's war is not going his way and he is going to try to use anything as justification for expanding/intensifying the situation.
So the governments are going to deny directly sending any aircraft to Ukraine even though they (Ukraine) *may* end up with some from "somewhere".
Yes. The Ukrainian logistics organisation has been training for this. Those tanks being towed by farmers tractors were a warm up for the main event.It seems to me, that what's going on, is plausible deniability.

Well hard to make anything of this since WE (the US) been covertly operating MiG-29s in the US since the 1980s. There are even civilians operating them (I know a few)I hope that's what happens.

My brother took photos of the 2008 Moscow Victory Day Parade (the first in 17 years?). He said it was a mild affair until the nukes arrived - then the crowd went beserk with wild excitement, thunderous yelling and cheering. So loud you "couldn't hear ya self think."
What's this one?

He was planning on just fighting the Ukraine military.Putin may be starting to think that he will lose and so wants to kill as many innocent people as possible before withdrawal.
DigbysI knew Bolos needed more horse power.
Perhaps we should send the ukrainians more John Deere and less MiG so they can steal russian equipment faster.He was planning on just fighting the Ukraine military.
He had no idea that the grand army of the Farmers would enter the fight and steal all his equipment...
